Hyde sits out practice; McCarthy foregoes pads

The Green Bay Packers on Thursday added a new player to their list of players not practicing: Nickel cornerback Micah Hyde.

Hyde attended practice but only as an observer. Coach Mike McCarthy provides injury updates at his post-practice press conference, so he might then give an indication of whether Hyde’s status for Sunday’s game against Minnesota is in jeopardy.

If Hyde can’t play, the Packers could be perilously thin at cornerback. Casey Hayward will miss the game because of a hamstring injury, and Sam Shields sat out last week’s game and hasn’t practiced yet this week because of a hamstring injury.

For now, that leaves Jarrett Bush as the nickel cornerback, with Tramon Williams and Devon House the starters.
